   We might as well face it: Arkansas’ basketball program is a basket case and destined to sink even further next year after another mediocre recruiting class. Everybody likes Pelphrey (except for the players), just as almost everyone liked Heath, but both are/were in over their heads. Coaching isn’t about fan likeability, it’s about having the gravitas to run a program that can compete with the likes of Florida and LSU during the regular season, and, as if that weren’t tough enough, with such as North Carolina, Duke, and UCLA when March Madness rolls around. The future is grim unless we clean house and start over with a proven coach, even if we have to pay him a bundle just as we did with Petrino. Otherwise, you ain’t seen nothing yet when it comes to empty seats in Bud Walton. It’ll make the new Yankee stadium look like a packed house.

   Reply to Glenn Hodge. You have the right to your opinion. But you wrong on all points. Don’t blame Coach Pelphrey for Arkansas Mess how about blaming the people who are responsible for Arkansas Mess Mr. Frank Broyle, Coach Stan Heath and Coach Heath’s six seniors last year. How do you know the players don’t like Coach Pelphrey? The University don’t need to get rid of Coach Pelphrey right now that was a stupid statement, but get real Arkansas couldn’t get a big name coach two years and they sure couldn’t get a big name coach now. Beside if you can support your team while they are going through some tough time why don’t you change team and became I Kentucky Wildcat fan. I don’t think Arkansas need a fan like you

   This is Franks problem, he should have stayed on Heath when it started (also when the rule started). But as usual, we let it get out of hand when Pelf ran off too many. I hope he knew what he was doing and has a plan to get us back in the right side of this problem. I have seen and heard that Long is on it, so I think we will be ok.
   I also hope Plef does what BP is doing and go after kids that don’t give us problems like this. He looks for someone who will finish college first and ability second.
